ECO 4332 Comparative Economic Systems
The study of comparative economic systems involves the study of the diversity of approaches governments have taken to solving economic questions throughout time and different forms of economic organization. This class will explore the different forms of economic organization and the differences between and among modern nations’ systems of economic organization. Using theoretical models, real world data, and case studies the course will show the similarities and differences between developed and developing countries using different systems today, as well as countries which remain in a state of transition. Particular attention will be focused throughout the semester on how different modern systems result in policy differences and outcomes when governments engage with issues such as healthcare, immigration, education, banking and financial markets, economic development, economic crisis, and the environment.
